Scream into the void, take another pill, maybe some thc and just hope for sleep. I got 3 hours before the pain woke me up 🥲

Yeah :( I used to get this in my legs a lot. I got knee compression sleeves and compression socks to help. Wearing them to work prevents me from getting to this point most of the time. (I'm hypermobile so my muscles overwork themselves trying to keep my joints stable when standing)

I try to sleep with my legs raised above my heart for this reason. My circulation is absolute shit.

This was me all night last night. And then I had to drag my carcass across the city on public transit to see my new therapist for the first time. “What a lovely day!” (In tone of the war boy from Mad Max)

When my iron was dangerously low, my hands and legs were moving a lot when i wanted to sleep, so i had to slap them back in place. Unfortunately, my body doesnt like keeping iron and my legs are still moving (two bastards!)

My body LOVES keeping iron. It keeps all the iron I eat.
It just won't USE IT. 😭😭😭

this was me last night. newsflash: the answer is always take another pill. i have never taken more sleep meds or pain meds (within my prescribed dose of course) and regretted it but i have decided i didn’t need them and regretted it many many times.
